Hey HWC,

What are the chances of unlocking the third and fourth core of a Phenom II 550??

When they first came out, if you had the right board, it was almost guaranteed. Now, with the new steppings and the new bioses out that disable the function, its next to impossible.

I would just get a quad if you need a quad, or a dualie if you need a dualie. They clock better.
